Wednesday we visited Universal Studios in Hollywood.

We were undecided whether to go or not. But I’m glad we did, it was really good.

Everyone told us the Harry Potter ride was great. It was newly opened. We got there early and it was a little cold and drizzly. Good for us because it meant less people – smaller lines. We’d heard we might need to wait 90 minutes or so. Turns out we only waited 15 mins.

It was fantastic. 3D surround. We were strapped in a roller coaster type chair and all of a sudden we’re flying around with Harry through Hogwarts and playing quidditch.

. 

We did most of the other rides and tours. The King Kong 3D show was brilliant. As was the Waterworld show.

All very good.

One thing I forgot to mention. At the end of the day we bought two souvenir cups. When we paid for the them the checkout girl says we can fill them up will a cool or hot drink for 99c. Then it’s free refills for the rest of the day! So if you’re going – get you souvenir cup first thing.
